Thanks Shelah I found that also but on 1901 census he was 12 and 1891 census he was 2. They were either late to register his birth or I am searching the wrong Benjamin. Dont know where to go now. Marie

I must be going ga ga. Just rushed to 1837 to look for it for you, then realised that you havent given us his name.

Have you looked in the index for his death in 1936. Incidentally, I assume the ck in your surname is silent. Just my sewer of a mind working overtime.
